 In the main film category, 62-year-old Demi Moore won the Best Actress Award (Comedy/Musical) for her role in &#8220;The Substance. Surprisingly, this is her first award in a career spanning over 45 years. And her shocking speech drew the attention of Hollywood.
 The film is a suspense story about a former top actress, played by Moore, who, due to her declining appearance and drastic decrease in work after turning 50, starts working on a new regenerative medicine, and a series of terrible things happen to her. The film will be released in Japan on May 16.
<h2> Making a lot of money doesn&#8217;t guarantee acting recognition.</h2>
 Moore&#8217;s love story &#8220;Ghosts of New York&#8221; (1990), in which he co-starred with Patrick Swayze, was a big hit, and he has appeared in numerous high-profile films, including &#8220;Bare Faces&#8221; (1996), &#8220;G.I. Jane&#8221; (1997), and &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Angels: Full Throttle&#8221; (&#8217;03). She has appeared in a number of high-profile films, including &#8220;As I Was&#8221; (1996), &#8220;G.I. Jane&#8221; (1997), and &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Angels Full Throttle&#8221; (2003). For &#8220;Bare Faces,&#8221; in which she played a stripper, she received $12.5 million, making her the highest paid actress in the world.
 In her personal life, her marriage and divorce from Bruce Willis of the &#8220;Die Hard&#8221; series made headlines in the U.S. entertainment media, and she became a Hollywood star, but she never won a Golden Globe or an Academy Award for her work.
 She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for &#8220;Ghosts of New York,&#8221; but did not win. The film also won Whoopi Goldberg the Best Supporting Actress award at the 63rd Academy Awards, but Moore was not even nominated for Best Actress.

 In her acceptance speech, she referred to her career,
 Thirty years ago, a producer called me a &#8220;popcorn actress.
 She then &#8220;accused&#8221; herself of being a &#8220;popcorn actress.
 At the time, I was convinced that this award was not for me. I believed that I could be in a successful movie that made a lot of money, but I would never be recognized for [my performance],&#8221; she confessed.
 He confessed. And,
 I was at rock bottom when a magical, bold, brave, unconventional, and utterly incredible script came to me. It was called The Substance. The universe told me, &#8216;You&#8217;re not done yet.
 She also revealed that she is a &#8220;popcorn actress.

Moore&#8217;s speech &#8220;exposed the ugly side of Hollywood&#8221; (New York Post).

 &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to think of a more moving and impactful moment than Demi Moore&#8217;s acceptance of the Best Actress award for her role in The Substance&#8221; (Vogue).
 (Vogue magazine).
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 What exactly is a &#8220;popcorn actress&#8221;? VOGUE magazine asked the following questions
 If popcorn movies are evaluated for their entertainment value and box-office revenue, rather than for their contribution to critical acclaim and film theory, then a popcorn actress is an actress who tends to appear in such movies.
 The article goes on to explain that &#8220;popcorn actresses are actresses who tend to appear in such films. And
 Is being a popcorn actress objectively a bad thing?　Not necessarily. （However, it is disappointing to think that an obviously talented actor like Moore is being led to believe that she could not contribute more to the film industry, or that she could not offer something better.
 He pointed out.
<h2> In Hollywood, it&#8217;s a completely different world for men and women.</h2>
 Moore did not mention the names of the producers, but the fact that she was tormented by certain power-harassing remarks made by the producers who controlled production and casting in Hollywood at the time is noteworthy because it was the first time she revealed this fact.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Moore concluded her speech by saying that the message of the film &#8220;Substance&#8221; was that &#8220;I&#8217;m not smart enough, I&#8217;m not beautiful enough, I&#8217;m not beautiful enough.
 &#8216;About those moments when you think you&#8217;re not smart enough, not beautiful enough, not skinny enough, not successful enough, or basically not good enough, a woman said to me, &#8220;I&#8217;m not smart enough, I&#8217;m not beautiful enough, I&#8217;m not skinny enough, I&#8217;m not successful enough, or basically not good enough. &#8216;Remember. You will never be good enough, but if you put the measuring stick down, you will know your worth. So today I want to celebrate this (the award) as a testament to my wholeness, to the love that drives me, and to the gift of doing what I love, to the reminder that I have a place too. Thank you so much.&#8221;
 He concluded.
 Comedian Nikki Glaser was the host of the awards ceremony,
 She said, &#8220;When a woman over 50 plays the lead role, it&#8217;s called a comeback; when a man over 50 plays the lead role, congratulations; when a woman over 50 plays the lead role, it&#8217;s called a comeback; when a man over 50 plays the lead role, congratulations. If it&#8217;s a man over 50, congratulations, you&#8217;re playing the boyfriend of Sidney Sweeney (a successful young actress).
 He sarcastically pointed out the gender gap in Hollywood. A friend of Moore&#8217;s told the New York Post
 Nikki is absolutely right. It&#8217;s a completely different world in Hollywood for men and women.
 Moore&#8217;s &#8220;accusation&#8221; is a &#8220;false accusation,&#8221; according to the New York Post.
 It is hoped that Moore&#8217;s &#8220;accusation&#8221; will lead to a change in the &#8220;working environment&#8221; in Hollywood. It will be interesting to see if Moore can also win the 97th Academy Awards at &#8230;&#8230;.
